About me
I am a certified psychologist in Amsterdam offering therapy in English and Spanish. I specialize in working with expats and moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 2022, right at the end of the pandemic.
I have lived as an expat in several countries: Germany, Peru, Turkey, and now in the Netherlands. I understand perfectly the challenges that come with moving to another country, such as facing cultural shock, loneliness, and the stress of adapting to a new place.
Learning to manage frustration and uncertainty has become part of my adaptation process.
In my practice, I offer you a compassionate and personalized approach to guide you through the challenges of living abroad.
With over a decade of experience in diverse cultural contexts and 6 years working in my private practice, I have specialized in providing support to individuals living abroad.
I am here to support you in developing resilience and self-compassion so you can flourish and thrive in your new environment.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CFT: Compassion-Focused TherapyRecommended for those who want to be kinder to themselves and reduce negative self-talk, often using mindfulness techniques.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
I hold a Master’s in Health and Social Psychology from Maastricht University and advanced training in ACT, CBT, EMDR, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. My warm, structured, and collaborative approach provides a safe space to explore emotions, understand patterns, and develop lasting tools for change. I often integrate mindfulness and self-compassion to help clients reconnect with themselves and build resilience.
In our initial session, we'll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and define your objectives. Together, we'll create a treatment plan that can be adjusted as needed throughout our sessions.

-Adaptation and cultural shock issues

-Post-traumatic stress
